Personal Habits of Leo XIII. and His Love
for the Fine Arts.

Personal Habits OF Leo XIII. and His Love
for the Fine Arts.
Few persons whom fate has raised to
30 high a rank love seclusion so much
rs the successor of Plus *. who was
never averse to cheerful surroundings
Leo XIII. is rarely seen in his reception
robes; still more difficult is it to OBJ
serve him in his house dress. The Sc
clusion in which he dwells 10 easily
accounted for-6rst' by his naturally
retiring ways and secondly by the fact
that his devotion to all the affairs that
claim his attention leaves him abso-
lutely no time for visitors. Monsignor
Della Volpe, the successor of Machi as
maestro di camera, must bear the
brunt of the general dissatisfaction en-
gendered by the scarcity Of admission
to Papal audience, and yet he is pow
erless to remedy the evil. Leo XIII.
who sits constantly before his enor-
nous artistically carved writing desk,
hidden behind heap of books, diplo-
matte letters and newspapers, rarely
allows himself to be interrupted in
his work in order to listen to the timid
petitions of his maestro di camera and
contents himself with proving to him
that he has no time to lose.
He has not yet become convinced
that general blessing will satisfy his
visitors, and therefore, when he
grants an audience to twenty OF
thirty persons he considers himself
obliged to take special interest
in each individual. He asks questions
and gives advice, all of which
tries him very much and robs him of
many a precious hour. Therefore he
resists as long as possible without
yielding to the necessity of appearing
in the reception hall between two no.
BILE guards and accompanied by the
ronsignor participants, whose Office is
to introduce those who have come to
be presented to the Holy Father.
Another class of persons who, with
the best of intentions, give the Pope
much trouble are the mediocre artists.
Leo XIII. is n great admirer of the
fine arts. On his way to the garden he
often stops in the hall of the Candida
bri, in the Vatican museums, descends
from his chair, and remains several
minutes, surrounded by his palfrenieri,
in gazing at the ceiling. which is being
painted at his expense by Salty. He
inquiries about the progress of the
painting. asks those around him for
their opinion concerning the work, and
repeatedly ordered very costly details
to begin anew, in order to make them
more worthy of himself and the apos-
tolic palace. But surrounded as he is
by masterpieces of art, how many in.
credible pictures, what abortive por-
traits must he see, bless and accept as
tokens of veneration!s Leo XIII. is
hard to please in artistic matters; he is
rarely satisfied with his portraits, and
even Lenbach could not succeed in
thoroughly pleasing him.-Berltm Boer-
sen Courier.

Valuable Photographs.

Some very perfect photographs of
the flashes of ''forked ightning'' have
recently been secured by Mr.. W. N.
Jennings. Considerable difficulty is
naturally experienced in securing ex-
posures of so pre-eminently uncertain
subject. In two instances recently
Mr.. Jennings has achieved quite a
notable success. One of the interest
ing features of the exposures is the un-
dulatory or wave-like character of the
tracing. The zig-zag appearance so
often shown in pictures is not present.
The general appearance is that of the
branch of a tree outlined by the flash.
